Farmers are witnessing a major rally in garlic prices this season. According to the latest mandi update released on 13 May 2026, garlic prices have surged significantly across several key markets in Madhya Pradesh. Premium-quality garlic is fetching record prices between ₹15,000 and ₹19,000 per quintal, while lower-grade and small-sized produce is still being sold at just ₹500–₹1,000 per quintal in some mandis.
Today’s latest mandi prices clearly show strong demand in major markets such as Ratlam, Neemuch, Ujjain, and Indore. The market is now completely quality-driven, with traders willing to pay premium rates for well-graded, dry, and large-clove garlic. On the other hand, ordinary-quality produce continues to face price pressure.
One notable trend this season is the growing premium for organic and desi garlic varieties. Farmers are now realizing that better grading, cleaning, and quality management can significantly improve earnings not just higher production alone.
In such a situation, farmers are advised to avoid panic selling and carefully compare mandi prices before making a decision. Choosing the right market and ensuring proper grading can lead to much higher profits.
